The English made a significant population effort in Australia (formerly Conania) with 1,800,000 settlers in 30 years. The goal was to drown the Brazilian populations, but they had a faster natural growth. Thus, the Brazilians confined to the South-East were still in the majority in 1910. Relations had calmed down between the two communities, even if they did not mix. The Brazilians remained much poorer than the English settlers.

The Brazilians, who now only hold Timor and the St. Jean and Marianne Islands, make a significant effort to populate this last archipelago. Its population quadruples, almost overwhelming the indigenous population. These islands remain agrarian and much poorer than English Australia. Despite its considerably reinforced fortifications, its self-defense capacity is limited.

The Brazilians will finally settle in Alaska where they were already present on a small scale. The Russians favor Brazilian immigration, incapable of populating such a distant territory themselves. Several gold rushes bring a total of 400,000 settlers. In order not to worry the English and the neighboring US, no large military base is built and no Brazilian military is established there.
